CHRYSANTHEMUM AND YONG SUM SOE TEA

This is one of the simplest and fastest herbal drink that we can prepare. It is a soothing brew that can be drunk hot or chilled and is believed to be cooling for the body. When preparing herbal soups or drinks, it usually takes a longer time but the best way to brew chrysanthemum is to steep it. Rapid boiling will dissipate its flavour and result in a slightly bitter drink.

Note - Yong Sum Soe [aka hairs of Ginseng roots] - This is a grade of Ginseng that us used as in tonics or sweet soups and tea. It is said to be 'cooling' for the body when taken in moderation. Ginseng is also believed to give energy and strength and to permit healing qualities to work after a bout of illness.
